Junior Firpo

[Marshall D Teach]

Play Semedo on the left and Roberto as RB until Alba returns...but wait Roberto is injured.

LMAO this season.

Would probably still be better than letting Cryba play an away CL game tbh

Maybe sub Alba for Roberto if we're down 1-0 away at halftime? Especially if it's the second leg.

Good news that Jordi Alba is back in training. This guy is an accident waiting to happen every time he gets the ball

 

[serghei]

Just reduce the guy for the time being to medium La Liga games. Just don't play him vs top teams because he will panic again. Not until he becomes more confident. If that doesn't happen next season and we see the same issues, sell him.

 

[El Gato]

The worst thing about him is that he panics like crazy. That's why his touches are so bad, because he's so fucking tense all the time...

Maybe he wouldn’t be so nervous if the manager/captain/teammate helped him? It’s his first year with you lot and has never played a Clasico. Cut him some slack.

 

[Andresito]

I feel he's going to make a monstrous match out of nowhere soon. Kind of like against us at Camp Nou.

Let’s hope [MENTION=21723]Pedro[/MENTION] it’s this Sunday.

Still better than fucking crying alba, i would not play alba in any pressure game at all

Some really infantile assessments in here

Firpo will get absolutely destroyed in the Clasico if he starts. I'm certain Zidane isn't as stupid as Gattuso. RM will bomb that side. Hopefully Griez can track back and help him because I have no faith in his defending abilities.

 

[vuji_31]

Well good thing is that Vinicous is LW. And Rodrygo will not play.
I belive Alba will play at least 30 minutes.

Let's just hope for the best.

His defending is a bit sketchy.

A back line of Semedo-Pique-Lenglet-Umtiti wouldn’t be a bad idea although it’s very defensive. Just hope he has a good game.

He seems to have the support of Setien btw, which is good.

 

[vuji_31]

I want Umtiti and Pique at CB.

Lenglet is shit against stronger teams.

 

[raedkuwait]

Did we win all games that he started since alba got injuerd!?

Yeah we did and the draw against Napoli. Not sure there’s a correlation though, he’s been pretty underwhelming. Inb4 we lose with Alba in his first game back.

 

[raedkuwait]

Then we should stick with the winning formula, alba is a nerve rick, he loses it in tough games
